Spec me a PC please..

[IwantanewPC]

Well for a friend actually, but I'll be building.

He has £800 to spend, and already has a mouse, keyboard, speakers and monitor.

Wants it for gaming mainly, things like BF2, CS:Source etc at the min, and then all the future big boys coming out.

Cheers.

The specification there looks basically fine although I'd probably consider something like getting the Antec Sonata II instead and buying PC6400 Ram with the money saved.

Yes, get pc6400 ram .... then clock the nobs of the cpu and ram
